attended Holy Mass every morning which caused him to come to work late. Late,
though he was, his plowing was nevertheless accomplished by angels that resulted
in three times more productivity. His co-workers and his boss witnessed such

pilgrimage to local shrines.

He
died May 15, 1130, and was declared a saint in 1622 with Ignatius of Loyola,
Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila and Philip Neri. Together, the group is known in
Spain as “the five saints.”
